They are going so slow that Meintjes can actually attack

 

[tobydawq]

Meintjes with one of his typical attacks. Hard to see him being brought back.

 

[Netserk]

this is ridiculous

peloton turning today into a field sprint stage. This should have been a small group sprint

It was always going to be a big bunch sprint. We called it before the race began.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Ineos pace so terrible that Meintjes senses a chance to get into the top 10 with a move.

 

[noob]

To be a fan of Almeida, Rogla, Alaphilippe and Van Aert this season probably should call myself a masochist

With this attitude it is

 

[Netserk]

Meintjes is ahead for the KOM points.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Think Lidl should make it harder, Skjelmose can sprint pretty well

Who were you a fan of last season?

 

[Netserk]

With this attitude it is

Can you think of a comparable finale that didn't see a big bunch sprint?

more like a super optimist

WTF is Remco doing

He had the whole climb to pick up the pace and is trying to attack the descent?

 

[AnotherArmChair]

for Meintjes to win a sprint everyone else would have to have 2 punctures

Imagine Roglic winning Il Giro in stage 20 after a mishap and you will get an idea of the ecstasy that comes with releasment.

What did i miss? I didn't see any attack?

He is contemplating how not to look like a bad guy

Maybe it was like Catalunya last year where Remco just looked at a guy funny and half the forum jumped on him

 

[Berniece]

Can you think of a comparable finale that didn't see a big bunch sprint?

No, because I don't remember such things. It would always have been a longshot, but I felt that there was a possibility to race, as long as the tempo is high enough.

Boy Kirby is so boring, seems like some holidays where I had a broken elbow in Algarve and I couldn't swim and had to listen to old british geezers speaking all day.

cool story bro. but it sounds like literally exactly something Kirby would say during a broadcast with not much going on and 70k to go.
Like EXACTLY what he would say lol

I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy.

 

[RedheadDane]

Evenepoel takes the bonus

 

[houtdffan]

Remco easily wins the sprint

 

[saunaking]

impressive sprint!

 

[Taxus4a]

Remco tooks 3 second more today. Those 4 seconds are very impportant. It means if Vingegaard go you have a margin to control the race, othe way you must be always at his wheel.
